Happy for the former world champ....he raced beautifully....a stage to remember

[@tillman5529]

Not only was this a great stage to watch in full length with a worthy winner. This recap with commentary by Rob Hatch is brilliant, too. Accurate, passionate, and not shy with context and opinion. Praising Mirco Maestri in the end was just the cherry on the cake (and the detail that made me write this comment). All in all, this is high quality entertainment.

[@craiggreen4388]

I could listen to Rob Hatch all day.

[@carlosbarrios2203]

Agree! these highlights are so well done my only thought as the video played was "wow, this stage was carnage!"

[@ehlava]

"winning in the only way he knows how" another gem

THIS WIN BROUGHT BACK A MEMORY . . . I remember in 2016 I got to watch LouLou win what I believe was the first stage race of his career. I got to see him win stage 3 (Gibraltar stage) at Tour of California and he took a pic with me in his yellow jersey after he won the stage which he carried all the way to the end winning the overall in Sacramento. I then followed the tour to every stage that year and got to see my favourite rider of all time Cav win the final stage in Sacramento. I have a room in my house that has many pics that I took standing next to many of the greats like Wiggo in Yellow Bernal in Yellow Alaphelippe in Yellow Pogi in Yellow Tejay Van Garderen in Yellow G. Bennett in Yellow Cav in Green Sagan in Green Gavaria in Green Oss in KOM and several others including almost every rider from Team SKY that appeared over the years I also have autographs from EVERY SINGLE one of them. Being an Englishman living in California it was a real treat to get to meet all these greats and get personal pics and autographs from all of them. I went to the TOC every year from '09 - '19 and only missed about 12 stages in total in all those years. I've never ridden a bike in competition but I guess you could call my spare room a shrine to all these greats. It's really a thing to see with all these guys in classification jerseys and me the Muppet standing next to them and all their autographs on different items such as my English flag, my British flag, team water bottles, pics from years previous and my Team Britain riders jersey. I also have a burger wrapper signed by Cav in '09 which was my first autograph and I wasn't prepared for it😂 From that point on I realised what incredibly easy access I had to all these riders and was always well prepared every single year!! Thanks for hearing me ramble on CHAPEAU TO LOULOU!!! INCREDIBLE WIN!!! That should silence Leferve!! 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@eduardorichard9547]

Gotta love Alaphilippe!

[@alle8565]

We do ✌🏻

Man, if it wasn't for Julian, this would be a fairly boring Giro. I hope he can win a stage in Le Tour this year.

Been waiting for this and Julian presented a good result so far. Bet his boss would just say ehh ... yeah gòod.

A stroke of genius by Alaphalippe, proving he can never be counted out of any Grand Tour Stage. So stoked to see him get the win.

The biggest loser of this race, someone who did not even ride it. Yes you guess correctly none other than Patrick Lefereve.

[@roadcyclist1]

Who?

[@redauwg911]

The veteran Belgian boss Patrick Lefereve made a series of controversial comments over the years, the most recent being his scathing rant over Julian Alaphilippe, in which he complained that his star rider was “seriously under the influence” of his wife,

[@curtisfamily5238]

Absolutely elated by this exhilarating stage result! Edge-of-my-seat live viewing of the last 100km (!!) of that impossibly brilliant breakaway, loved the classy cooperation between the two leaders, and the triumphant final climb to a beautiful, redemptive finish for my favorite champion. Surely now that a day has passed, it's no spoiler --- Allez LouLou!!! :D :D :D

[@alexandregf4]

Did I get it right? Julian went in a break with 126 km to go and won?

[@tariqcollins2609]

Me being a noob stopping the video at 4:20 because that is a fearful sight to see Tadej out the saddle. I would've behind him like there he goes.

[@ryangee9182]

This field in the 2024 version of the Giro feels about as competitive as Max/Red Bull in F1

[@kennykaniff]

Some cheese with that whine? 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@armanilow7842]

Alaphilippe should have won stage 6 too but he finished only 2nd because he did the most work among the 3 leading riders and Sanchez, the rider who did the least work, won the sprint between the 3 riders. Sanchez faked weakness and pulled the least while Alaphilippe exhibited strength and pulled the most. As a result, Sanchez still had the energy reserve to win the sprint and won the stage with Alaphilippe 2nd and Plapp 3rd (who did his fair share of pulling).

[@koopalibrary]

after uitdebroeks exit, most of my interest in this giro has evaporated. Still, props to alaphillipe. Must confess i don't think he'll have plenty of days like today left in the tank. Though i'm more than willing to be proven wrong by him.

[@123oner2]

I've only been watching the tours for the last few years so haven't seen Julian at his peak, but I've always admired what a fighter and courageous rider he is. What a win today, love him proving the pessimists wrong, fair fucking play

This is a spoiler free comment. Like this if you want to save spoilers, so that the first comment doesn't mention the winner's name, and nothing is spoiled for those watching this later.

[@kennykaniff]

I'm sure many of us can clearly see how Pogi has a cold, alergies or something. His nostrils are red as Rudolph and every time we see him on the bike or after the race hes either wiping his nose with the backside of his gloves or hes trying to clear his throat. It seems pretty obvious the past 2 or 3 days!! I hope this is the "something will happen" that i felt would happen causing him to lose time but we'll have to see 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@BurnerAcc-yy1sd]

Honestly surprised he's riding with a wrist watch. Seems like unnecessary weight in a sport that is focused on saving any gram that is possible 🤔

Completely agree! It’s a Richard Mille watch, probably >€100k and he’s had a few of them over the years. I’m sure I’d wear one too if I got it for free.. :)
